Garnier BB Cream - Sensitive Review - Medium

I absolutely love this product. It is smooth and creamy and is easily applied with your fingers. The first time I used it I got out WAY too much so make sure you just get out a little at a time as you cant put any back in the tube. I applied it to half my face and found that it reduced the redness in my cheeks from sun damage and evened out my skin tone beautifully. I have extremely sensitive skin on my face and I am unable to use a lot of products. I found this BB cream to be fine on me and is a great replacement for sunscreen as that is something my skin reacts to. I found the box packaging to be quite busy looking with a lot of writing. I didnt think it was that attractive really but hey its what is on the inside that counts. The light colour tone suited my skin well ( I am quite pale) even though when you first squeeze it out it looks quite dark. It is a great base for your usual make up regime, but not really suitable to be worn by itself.

I hate foundations at the best of times. They feel thick and clumpy! This is nothing like that! it goes on smoothly. I use it like my daycream. Amazing flawless finish! Absolutely fantastic.

Previously I tried the original formula which felt heavy and oily. The Garnier BB cream sensitive skin formula did feel a little thick, but after working it into the skin and allowing it to be absorbed, it no longer felt thick, mask-like or oily. Immediately my redness and light blemishes were covered. The BB cream lasted until it was wiped off my face at the end of the day. Light coverage with moisturising properties that lasted for hours!

I'm not a big fan of foundation or powder etc so I thought a BB cream would be a great alternative to try. My impression was that it would be more like a tinted moisturiser that I could wear every day. The packaging states that the cream provides hydrating care with a light touch of make-up. The product is actually quite thick, it does give great coverage, evens out skin tone etc. but for me it felt like I had a heavy mask on my face, and I felt very 'made-up'. I chose the light version as I have very fair skin however it was still a little to dark for me. I didn't find it particularly hydrating, and my skin has actually probably been drier this week than usual. I usually find that after I have used something a couple of times my skin starts to get irritated however this didn't irritate my skin at all so I would use it for that reason alone The smell is fairly neutral. Overall a good product but not something I would choose to wear everyday, I will continue to use it as a base for going out/special occasions.

I am a big fan of BB creams and I do have my favourites, which means when trying anything new I am hard to convert. To me this is quite a thicker cream, but it feels nice, as most Garnier products do. I didn't feel I got a heap of amount of coverage - I like this in a BB cream, but it left a nice feel to the skin. Good for someone who maybe doesn't want to spend a heap on BB and wants it to last as I don't think you need to use heaps

Update: i've started using this under my makeup as it is a super good perfector!!

I received this to trial and really liked this product. I have sensitive skin but very oily so I was keen to try this as I usually use the oil free version. Its easy to apply, moisturising, and didn't make my skin break out. Even though I got the fair shade it still gave my face a bit of colour. I'm still trying to figure out what to use over top to keep my shine and redness under control as sadly the coverage for me isn't enough.

Its been over a week now trialling this product and I love it!. It arrived on a Saturday so perfect timing for my less makeup weekend time. My box was crushed on arrival and I thought the packaging had a lot of writing on. The actual product tube was fine apart from stickers over it and the front one coming off that said it was for sensitive skin but underneath it had on the tube 'anti ageing' so not too sure if it was sensitive or anti ageing I was trialling BUT anyway it was lovely! I get quite a sensitive patch above my top lip up towards my nose, any new products usually aggravate it and turn red and owchy. This BB cream however did not. Lovely creamy texture that was easy to squeeze out and glides on easily to the skin, no scent and has great staying power. Not a really shiny finish and not matte either, just right! during the week I applied powder over top for more coverage for work and it was lovely. I didn't use a moisturiser a few times, just applied the BB straight away and it was great. I will keep using it and will more than likely buy more once I have ran out as it is the best BB I have used so far. I have tried a few now, even big brand labelled ones and this is far superior.

I am really happy with this BB cream. The consistency of the product was quite creamy and smoothed onto my skin nicely. I applied it using a damp make up sponge and found this worked really well. I find is great for 'no make-up' days as it gives the skin a light, dewy coverage. I also use it as a base to my foundation which works well too. Good value for money and it's in a squeezy tube which is great as it's easy to get the prodcut out.

My skin type is oily And sensitive so this was great to have a BB dream for sensitive skin as usually I have a burning sensation when I put other ones on and with this one I didn't. The consistency was thick which i like as it is easier to work with, I tried multiple ways of apply this-brush, fingers & a wet beauty blender and it applied well with a brush the best I fell and went on well and was not patchy.the coverage I would say is medium but definitely does the job and is great for people who don't wear a lot of make up or this also works amazing as a base under my foundation. The packaging I liked as it is simple, not big and bulky.
